I'd imagine the tongue in cheek statement helps clarify the fact that FR contract pilots aren't paid per duty hour, but per block hour?
I believe that the lowest is now €40 per hour on a Storm Contract?? Average hours for FOs in 2013 will more than likely be 600.
On a separate note, basic salary for a permanent contract (FO) is €20K. Soon it will be €0. I'm pretty sure it would still guarantee an overwhelming amount of applications for their SSTR scheme.
